Cleaning water absorption strainer (Fig. 8)

After removing chemical from tank, remove the water absorption strainer at the bottom of the tank, and clean it.

Cleaning lever cock strainer (Fig. 9)

Remove lever cock cap and clean strainer.

NOTE:

Water absorption strainer

•This is a filter used to prevent dirt and dust (that for some reason has got passed the tank strainer into the tank) from getting into the pump. If the water absorption strainer becomes blocked, spraying will deteriorate,

and there is a risk of the pump being adversely affected.

Lever cock strainer

•Spraying deteriorates if the lever cock strainer becomes blocked.

Sprayer storage

•Wash the equipment using the after-use maintenance procedures.

•In particular, when storing during the winter season, breakdown or damage may occur due to freezing of residual chemical and/or washing water in the pump. Run the pump until all residual liquid has exited from the nozzle, check to make sure there is no more residual liquid, turn the sprayer switch OFF, and then store the sprayer away.

CAUTION:

Store the Sprayer out of reach of children, in an indoor locale that does not freeze, is away from direct sunlight, and has good ventilation.

-Take full care in storing the sprayer, as, in some cases, the plastic components will deteriorate markedly if left

in direct sunlight for a prolonged period; moreover, product caution labels will discolor and/or come off.

Useful Tips

NOTE:
